Calicut, Sep.20 (NR): The shoot of Mammootty's new film that has been titled 'Baavuttiyude Naamathil' has started at locations at Kozhikode. The film is being scripted by Ranjith and directed by G S Vijayan.

Along with Mammootty, Kavya Madhavan and Shankar Ramakrishnan would be seen in key roles in the film. Mammootty plays a car driver in the film that is expected to be yet another gift to the audience from the Mammootty - Ranjtih combination.

The film was originally supposed to have Anoop Menon in a key role. However, owing to Anoop's very busy schedules, Shankar Ramakrishnan has stepped into the project. 'Baavuttiyude Namathil' is being produced by Ranjith under the banner of Capitol Theatre.
